I recently ran into a problem that resulted in the truck being towed.I had been driving for an hour, a full tank of fuelat 55-60 mph.The truck first bucked, I took it off cruise and drove on for a few more minutes. The bucking became more frequent and finally led to a complete loss of power.My first guess was a fuel pump problem. I turned the ignition off then back on and could hear the fuel pump.I checked and traded the fuel pump relay for another of the same type.Still a no-start.opened the fuel cap possibly for vapor lock.I did have my scan tool with me and retreived a lean condition bank 1 and 2 then cleared the codes. I pushed in the schraeder valve where there was fuel present and seemed to have pressure.It would not start so was taken to a repair center where it started right up the next morning and ran without as much as a miss for off and on 4 hours.No codes re-appeared for the repair center.My question is: If the fuel pump was at fault would there be any pressure at the schraeder valve?? It is almost leading me to think intermittent coil failure.
